Source: shadowsocks-libev Version: 2.4.7+20160630+ds-1 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
Builds of shadowsocks-libev on alpha and hppa have been failing: utils.c:1:0: error: -fstack-protector not supported for this target [-Werror] It looks like this instance of -fstack-protector comes from upstream's build system, which doesn't account for these architectures' lack of support for it. Moreover, on the remaining architectures, dpkg-buildflags already supplies -fstack-protector-strong, so -fstack-protector either is redundant or results in less strong protection. Ideally, upstream's build system would test that -fstack-protector actually works, rather than hardcoding a list of architectures on which it's expected to. (It would be even better if the build system got out of the way if it noticed -fstack-protector or -fstack-protector-strong already in CFLAGS.) As it is, I would suggest unconditionally configuring with --disable-ssp and deferring to dpkg-buildflags. Could you please take a look? Thanks!
